Ramon Sessions Donates $1 Million to the University of Nevada

Charlotte Hornets guard Ramon Sessions has made a $1 million gift to the University of Nevada, which will go towards the building of a new basketball practice facility.

The new gym will be named after Sessions.

The 30-year-old returned to Charlotte this summer on two-year, $12.3 million deal.

Per the Charlotte Observer:

“For me, giving back to the University of Nevada means a lot,” Sessions said in a statement released by Nevada. “This was always a second home for me, a place that gave me a chance when a lot of schools didn’t.

 

“I know the coaches are excited about (the new facility). And once this gets going, I know the (Reno) community will be excited about it.”

 

Nevada offered Sessions a scholarship late in the recruiting process after Sessions qualified academically to play as a freshman. He is entering his 10th NBA season, and will play behind starter Kemba Walker.
